SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

PELLETS

 

During the year, the Company has set an annual target of 2.500 million tons of Pellet production in the MOU under “Good” category. As against the same, the actual production was 1.265 million tons, which is 51% achievement of the target. The shortfall is on account of unprecedented decline in demand and price for Pellets coupled with non-availability of adequate quantity of Iron Ore fines after blanket ban on mining in the State of Karnataka imposed by Hon’ble Supreme Court. During the year the Pellet Plant was operated only for 144 days.

 

 

PIG IRON AND AUXILIARY

 

The operation of Blast Furnace Unit continued to remain suspended since 05.08.2009 owing to generation of negative contribution. In an effort to revive the operation at BFU, the Company made an internal assessment taking into consideration the input cost vis-a-vis selling price of the finished products. Since the economics are unfavorable it was decided to keep the operation suspended.

 

 

MARKETING AND EXPORTS:

 

Non-availability of captive mines and banning of mining operations in Karnataka forced the Company to source Iron Ore from NMDC Bailadila resulting in very high logistics cost. Further levy of distance based charge by Railway has deprived the Company on its export market and confined to domestic market.

 

In the absence of export market, made efforts to expand its market base by serving the needs of SAIL, a Co-PSU and also by catering to the needs of mini steel plants and sponge iron units by starting despatches through road which has hitherto nonexistent, achieving highest domestic sale till date. The Company is continuing with its efforts to regain its lost ground and further expand its market base. The Company also started moving Pellets by small vessels with a capacity of around 6,000 tons to serve to small coastal customers.

 

During the year, 24 shipments of Pellets with around 1.058 Million tons were sold through New Mangalore Port as compared to 38 during 2011-12. The balance 0.178 million tons of Pellets were sold through Road.

 

 

MARKET SCENARIO:

 

Global Steel production which has been on an upward trend from 2009, continued with an annual increase of 4% to 1548 million tons in 2012. However global steel consumption growth was lower at 1.2% to 1436 million tons and is expected to grow only by 2.9% to 1454 million tons in 2013. Year 2012 was a challenging period for the Steel industry when demand declined, mainly due to the Euro zone crisis which persisted throughout 2012. On top of this, corrective economic measures in major emerging economies also contributed to a slowdown globally.

 

China’s Steel production touched 716 million tons in 2012, an increase of 3% over last year. However the Steel consumption increased only by 1.9% to 645 million tons, as the Chinese government controlled investments in an effort to rebalance the economy.

 

Indian Steel production showed an increase of 4.5% to 76.7 million tons in 2012 but with a slower demand growth of 3.3% to 71.6 million tons. The demand is expected to pick up and grow by 5.9% to 75.8 million tons in 2013, as monetary easing is expected to support investment activities. In 2014, growth in Steel demand is expected to further accelerate to 7.0% due to the reform measures taken by Government for narrowing the fiscal deficit and improve foreign direct investment.

 

For global Steel industry, year 2013 has started on a tough note. Supply continues to outpace demand, leading to low capacity utilization rates, poor pricing power and continued weak margins. Despite increased demand for Steel and the removal of some of the outdated Steelmaking capacity in 2012, the level of excess capacity has increased, due to the continued growth in new Steelmaking facilities. However the Indian Steel market is expected to show increase in demand due to the impact of the reforms and investments being carried out by Government of India during the year 2013.

 

The global production of Iron Ore is estimated to show an increase of 2.5% to 3000 million tons during 2012. Iron Ore prices which declined during 2012 are expected to continue the decline over the next year also, with slowing Chinese demand, and additional global supply of around 200 million tons during next two years. With Pellet market moving in tandem with Iron Ore market, lower international prices are predicted during the coming year.

 

In Indian market, the Supreme Court’s order banning the mining in Karnataka, Goa and Odisha due to violation of environmental norms, led to scarcity of Iron Ore. This led to a firm demand for Pellets having higher quality during the year. However, the oversupply of Pellets in the market caused prices to slide by around 1000/Mt during 2012. With the recent decision of Supreme Court, permitting ‘B’ category mines to start mining, the availability of Ore is expected to improve during 2013. Continuous import of high grade Pellets as well as Iron Ore Lumps, commissioning of new Pellet plants in eastern sector and the improving availability of Iron Ore Lumps may affect the demand and margins for Pellets in 2013.

 

Distance based charges: The Company is a Port based manufacturing unit having its Pelletisation Complex at Mangalore. It enjoys 100% Export Oriented Unit status thereby clearly indicating that the Company’s operations are export oriented for its product- Pellets. With the suspension of mining operations at Kudremukh mine site, the Company is procuring Iron Ore fines from NMDC Mines and transporting the same to its plants at Mangalore by Rail or Rail cum Sea route. Railways have raised an issue regarding applicability of Distance based charge over and above normal freight on Iron Ore transported through Railway network for manufacture of Pellets meant for export.

 

This has turned Pellets uneconomical for sourcing by overseas market. However, the Iron Ore so moved and utilised in the Steel plants for manufacture of Steel and subsequent export does not attract Distance based charges. This benefit is not available for Pellets though it is a manufactured and a value added product, technically and commercially, like Steel but distinct from Iron Ore fines and Lumps. It is a clear violation of Article XIV of Constitution of India.

 

Accordingly, the issue of Distance Based Charge raised by Railways is challenged before the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka through a writ petition. The Writ Petition was dismissed. The Company is contemplating to appeal the aforesaid decision before the divisional bench of High Court of Karnataka as soon as the Company receives the copy of judgment order.

 

 

AWARD AND RECOGNITION

 

The Company was conferred with Raj Bhasha Shield 1st Prize for the year 2011-12 for the outstanding performance in the implementation of Official Language by Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi on 22-02-2013.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian Steel industry had a dismal year during 2012-13 due to poor performance of the infrastructure segment. However, demand for quality Pellets remained firm due to restricted availability of Iron Ore, but this did not translate into better prices for Pellets as many new Pellet plants entered into the market resulting in over supply of Pellets and putting severe pressure on Pellet prices. The low prices resulted in restricted sale of their Pellets in domestic market during 2012-13. The issue raised by Railways regarding applicability of Levy of Distance based charges over and above normal freight on Iron Ore transported through Railway network for manufacture of Pellets and subsequent export has made the sale of Pellets in International market unviable. Export of Pellets has been stopped from September 2011. These factors affected Production of Pellets during 2012-13. The Plant operation had to be intermittently stopped due to poor market conditions.

 

Production and sale of Pellets during the financial year 2012-13 was 1.265 Million tons and 1.236 Million Tons respectively. Indian Pellet capacity is expected to cross 90 million tons by the end of 2013-14. Almost all the Steel

Manufacturers in private sector have commissioned their captive Pellet plants and the excess production from these plants may hit the market in the coming days. However, DR grade Pellet is expected to maintain its premium continuously for ever.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

KIOCL is a zero debt company and has a large Equity base with highly Technical manpower. The Company is exploring the possibilities of diversifying into entering into new areas of business such as acquiring new mining leases, setting up of beneficiation cum Pellet plants under JVs, O&M contracts with new Pellet plants, e-commerce, solar power etc.

 

To make the Blast Furnace unit (BFU) economically viable on standalone basis and as a backward integration to the BFU, the Company has proposed to set up a non-recovery type Coke Oven Battery of 3.0 lakh tons per annum capacity along with a 25 MW Captive Power plant. M/s SAIL were contacted for a possible tie up to take the above project forward on Joint Venture basis in the best interest of both KIOCL and VISL unit of SAIL located at Bhadravati, as both the plants require Coke for their furnaces.

 

The Company had initiated action for setting up of a permanent railway siding and bulk material handling system at about 3 kms. From KIOCL’s Pellet plant at Baikampady industrial area, Mangalore for receipt and mechanized handling of Iron Ore and other raw materials received through Railway wagons and their storage and conveying to KIOCL’s Pellet plant Unit and Blast Furnace Unit. The total investment for this project as per the DPR is estimated at ` 303 crores. The company has initiated dialogue with M/S MRPL for a possible tie up for this project

 

The Company is pursuing to enter into a contract with M/s NMDC, for Operation and Maintenance of their upcoming Beneficiation Plant and Pellet Plant at Donimalai. Efforts are on in this direction to get the contract and utilize the expertise available with KIOCL in operating the plants for mutual benefit of both the organization.

 

In similar way, the Company is exploring the possibility of having a Joint Venture with M/s OMDC– M/s RINL for setting up of Beneficiation Plant and Pellet Plant at Thakurani mines of M/s OMDC at Odisha.

 

The Company with an objective of providing expertise in the fields of mining, beneficiation and Pelletisation by utilizing the expertise available with KIOCL has proposed to establish a R and D and training center with state of the art facilities for the benefit of steel industry at a suitable location around Bangalore. The Company approached

M/s Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) requesting them to allot 5 acres of land for the purpose.  M/s KIADB vide their letter no. KIADB/HO/Secy-2/455 dated 26th April 2013 have informed their decision to allot an extent of 5.00 acre of land at Obhadenahalli Industrial area. After completing the necessary formalities and approvals, Company will take forward this project further.

 

To secure Iron ore for its Pellet Plant, the Company has submitted various mining lease applications to Govt of Karnataka (GoK). Chikkanayakanahalli Iron Ore mining lease is already recommended by the GoK and the Company is in the process of obtaining various statutory clearances to commence the mining operation. Other mining lease applications are under different stages of processing by GoK.

 

The Company has also submitted mining lease applications for Iron Ore in the States of Odisha, Jharkhand and

Andhra Pradesh. The same is being pursued with highest authorities for early clearance.

 

Company is in the process of entering into Memorandum of Understanding with APMDC for exploration and

exploitation of Iron Ore Deposit at Nemakal village in Anantapur Dist, Andhra Pradesh by APMDC and KIOCL, setting up of Beneficiation and Pelletisation Plant by KIOCL and supply of Pellets to RINL
